A constant stream of moderate effort is needed. Similarly, when meditating, you need to be skillful by having frequent, short sessions; it is more important that the session be of good quality than that it be long. -- H.H. the Dalai Lama, from "Kindness, Clarity, and Insight" +~ +We Buddhists are supposed to save all sentient beings, but practically +speaking, this may be too broad a notion for most people. In any case, we +must at least think in terms of helping all human beings. This is very +important. Even if we cannot think in terms of sentient beings inhabiting +different worlds, we should nonetheless think in terms of the human beings on +our own planet. To do this is to take a practical approach to the problem. +It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily +lives. If we find we cannot help another, the least we can do is to desist +from harming them. We must not cheat others or lie to them. We must be +honest human beings, sincere human beings. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama
